The Representation Of Blacks And Hispanics In Media Depictions Of The Catholic Church, Sven Smith, Naseer Malik
The Representation Of Blacks And Hispanics In Media Depictions Of The Catholic Church, Sven Smith, Naseer Malik
Journal of the Black Catholic Theological Symposium
Fifty years ago, Pope Paul VI promulgated the Decree on Means of Social Communication at the end of the second session of the Second Vatican Council.2 In this document, the Council outlined the responsibilities of the media in the rapidly-changing post WWII global society. Here, Smith and Malik present the results of an empirical study of the media’s approach to the retirement of Pope Benedict XVI and the election of Pope Francis I. They show that the media reinforces stereotypes of the U.S. Catholic Church as a white institution by choosing to over-represent Catholic membership as well as leadership as …

Suffering As Glory In Hans Urs Von Balthasar And James Cone, Joseph S. Flipper, Katy Leamy
Suffering As Glory In Hans Urs Von Balthasar And James Cone, Joseph S. Flipper, Katy Leamy
Journal of the Black Catholic Theological Symposium
Based on the paper delivered during the 2012 Annual Meeting, Flipper and Leamy elaborate the implications of the respective reflections on the crucifixion of Christ and his descent into hell in the work of Hans Urs von Balthasar and James H. Cone. They conclude that, together, Balthasar and Cone supply a theological justification for seeing the oppressed and rejected as the privileged media of God’s glorious revelation. Frederick

The Experience Of The Oblate Sisters Of Providence During The Civil War Era, Diane Batts Morrow
Journal of the Black Catholic Theological Symposium

Their capacity for commitment and creativity at this time of existential conflict stands as a model even today.

Still We Remain: Living Religious Liberty Consciously And Unconsciously, Shawnee Daniels-Sykes S.S.N.D.
Still We Remain: Living Religious Liberty Consciously And Unconsciously, Shawnee Daniels-Sykes S.S.N.D.
Journal of the Black Catholic Theological Symposium
Here, Dr. Daniels‐Sykes explores the principle of religious liberty, which has become one of the focal points in the current health care debate. She considers how one should ‘live’ religious liberty from the perspective those parishioners who live on the margins – those whose parishes have been closed, and the victims of individual and institutional racism.

The Satanic Nature Of Racist “Christianity”, Susan Peppers-Bates
The Satanic Nature Of Racist “Christianity”, Susan Peppers-Bates
Journal of the Black Catholic Theological Symposium
In this paper, Dr. Peppers‐Bates ponders the persistence of individual and institutional racism among modern‐day Christians by applying the anthropological‐psychological lens of the scholar René Girard and his concepts of mimesis and the scapegoating mechanism. The message of the Gospel is incompatible with violence and hatred, yet those who embrace racial stereotyping, even as they call themselves ‘Christians’, are deaf to it.

Building Interreligious Encounter/Dialogue Through Friendship In A Pluralistic World: The Nigerian Context, Simonmary A. Aihiokhai
Journal of the Black Catholic Theological Symposium
In this essay, Dr. Aihiokhai explores the philosophical concept of friendship as a model for fostering interreligious dialog across the Christian, Muslim, and the Ihiebve Traditional religions in Nigeria, based on qualitative research conducted between 2011 and 2012, and also on first‐hand experiences. By using alterity as grounds for communication and by worshiping openly and collaboratively, we can begin to appreciate not only the ‘other’, but also ourselves.

The Challenge Of Change, Kimberly Flint-Hamilton

Death, Racial Reconciliation, And The Mission Of The Church – Baldwin’S Perception, Jon Nilson
Death, Racial Reconciliation, And The Mission Of The Church – Baldwin’S Perception, Jon Nilson
Journal of the Black Catholic Theological Symposium
Delivered during the 2010 Annual Meeting, Nilson explores novelist James Baldwin’s reflections on the truth about racism and white supremacy. Whiteness, for Baldwin, functions as a kind of idolatry intimately connected with the fear of death. Although Baldwin never attempted to provide evidence for this observation, NIlson reveals a compelling proof through fascinating psychological experiments in Terror Management Theory (TMT). According to TMT, consciousness of one’s mortality – “mortality salience” – often results in a heightened tolerance of prejudice and bias. For a Church that seems far more concerned with keeping its white members untroubled and content, the price for …
Malcolm X And The Limits Of “Authentically Black And Truly Catholic”: A Research Project On Black Radicalism And Black Catholic Faith, Bryan N. Massingale
Malcolm X And The Limits Of “Authentically Black And Truly Catholic”: A Research Project On Black Radicalism And Black Catholic Faith, Bryan N. Massingale
Journal of the Black Catholic Theological Symposium
Based on the talk he delivered during the 2010 Annual Meeting, Massingale here tackles head‐on the unvoiced questions with which most of us have struggled at some point our careers and ministries. He begins by unveiling the conflicted ramifications of ‘authentically black and truly Catholic’. Echoing Copeland’s reference in Volume IV to the price that black scholars and theologians must pay to “speak and act and live in truth” (p. 75), Massingale explores Malcolm X’s call for Black Nationalism and its synthesis and coexistence with Integrationism in current Black Catholicism. Finally, he asks a series of haunting questions about what …

Redemptive Suffering And Christology In African American Christian Theology, Nathaniel Holmes Jr.
Redemptive Suffering And Christology In African American Christian Theology, Nathaniel Holmes Jr.
Journal of the Black Catholic Theological Symposium
In this paper, based on a presentation delivered at the 2009 Annual Meeting at the Atlanta University Center, Holmes engages the debate over the redemptive nature of suffering in Christianity. Are evil, suffering, and oppression redemptive, thereby bringing us closer to the divine? Or, are suffering and oppression detrimental to the salvific nature of Christ’s liberation? Holmes explores the religious and philosophical literary tradition of redemptive suffering, especially as interpreted in African American religious thought, and shows us that the answers to these questions are complex and multifaceted.
The Role Of The Black Catholic Theologian And Scholar In Today’S Context, M. Shawn Copeland
The Role Of The Black Catholic Theologian And Scholar In Today’S Context, M. Shawn Copeland
Journal of the Black Catholic Theological Symposium
Based on her keynote address delivered during the 2009 Annual Meeting at Atlanta University’s Lyke Center, Copeland takes a look back at the nearly forty-year history of black theological scholarship, reminding us of the intimate link between culture, history, and the ongoing and critical need for a theology that is authentic and responsive to the needs of the poor and marginalized. She reminds us of the urgency for the pursuit of truth and freedom, especially for black scholars and theologians. However, the quest for authenticity comes with a price.

Dr. Kauffman pays special attention to the relationship of these articles to Father Cyprian’s 1990 study The History of Black Catholics in the United States, to his inspirational writings, and to his ongoing research and writing of Black Catholic history.
